Thank you, Operator. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Xylem's fourth quarter 2023 earnings conference. With me today are Chief Executive Officer, Matthew Pine; and Chief Financial Officer, Bill Grogan.

They will provide their perspectives on Xylem's fourth quarter and full-year 2023 results, and discuss our outlook and guidance for 2024. Following our prepared remarks, we will address questions related to the information covered on the call.

I'll ask that you please keep to one question and a follow-up, and then return to the queue. As a reminder, this call and our webcast are accompanied by a slide presentation available in the Investor section of our website. A replay of today's call will be available until midnight, February 13.
